playing while pregnant

[ultimatesubbie]

I am 16 weeks pregnant and my Master and I have been playing gently since we found out, although its driving U/us mad! Does anyone have experience of playing with subs whilst pregnant and can give U/us some advice?

I'm not sure on the accuracy of this information, but I did some googling and found this article about BDSM and pregnancy. I hope it's helpful...

As a general rule of thumb, there is very little you can do that will harm you or your baby. The baby is nicely tucked away in an environment that has been designed by nature with only one goal in mind: whatever happens keep the baby alive. Your uterus is extremely strong, flexible and the water inside will absorb almost any shock. As a result, the majority of sexual activities can be performed safely during pregnancy.

However, in a BDSM context there are a few things to consider

1) you may have seen pregnancy bondage videos. A good advice: don't do it. The shots you see are almost all trickshots and tying the belly is simply dangerous.

2) in general, avoid emotional and physical strain during pregnancy (your body has enough on its hands as it is) so adapting your play is advised. Keep it mild and simple and don't try and do anything that will drain you, put extra pressure on your already overburdoned spine, shoulders and pelvis, hence no bondages (not even your hands behind your back) and no complicated stuff

3) a little mild whipping and spanking will do no harm, but keep it down

4) nipple play won't harm, but as a result of your pregnancy your nipples may feel different and things that might have been possible before may not be now

The general advise is to follow your own instinct, gut feeling and common sense. PLUS - very important for both dom and sub - to remember that your hormones and as a result your emotions will work VERY DIFFERENTLY during pregnancy and that as a result emotions, physical responses and such may be very, very different.

Just take normal precautions and takl to your Dr. You do not need to go into specifics with the Dr., but he can tell you what types of strain to avoid.
